I'm rather new at this too, but it's my understanding that the OEM
Epson carts in the 1800 don't give good b/w results. I'm using the 3MK
approach in my 1800, developed by Paul Roark. Are you familiar with
that? I have 100% carbon Eboni ink in the two black positions and the
GLOP position. Do you frequent the DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint Yahoo
Group? You can learn more about this and other b/w processes there.

I've been pretty happy with my results, although soon after I got the
1800 the 1400 came out and Paul prefers it over the 1800. He's getting
very good results using only one Eboni black cartridge in that printer.

Hope this helps,

Paul
